Not seen it yet, but big fan of Clint so will borrow it off a mate when it comes out on blue-ray.

Not sure Clint will be showing me the real Chris Kyle, e.g. boasting killing was "fun", he "loved" it, and he hated "the damn savages,” and "couldn't give a flying f*** about the Iraqis.” I am wondering if Clint has left out the bragged about killing looters during Hurricane Katrina or how Chris Kyle reportedly boasted of "looting the apartments of Iraqi families in Fallujah,” author Rania Khalek called him the “American psycho”.

I am expecting a well polished flick. Clint is normally at home and a master of this genre.

A good war film if you dont mind war films devoid of historical accuracy, any sense of moral ambivalence , or a good old dose of US flag waving.

It was as good as John Waynes The Green Berets but not as good as black hawk down.

The only thing i was disappointed in was the fact that we never got to see Chris Kyle killing Iraqis who were just about to let loose their WMDs which were going to devastate London in 45 minutes.

All of which I do mind; I didn't quite trust Clint Eastwood with this, particularly not after watching the god-awful Gran Torino, and it sounds like he's taken a similar approach; I'll watch it when it hits Sky.

I fear you may explode then when it is on SKY . . Like i said a good war film if you dont engage your brain and think about the message it is sending out.

I went to see it because i understood it highlighted moral ambiguities about war.

The only way it riased any issues is because it so blatantly raised no ambiguities in the film.

Kyle was great, Iraqis were bad, he killed lots of people they all desreved to die. He got upset but he loved his children and was a great guy and we dont need gun control because how else will we teach our kids that guns are good and Americans are right

He's not as good a sniper as Vasily Zaitsev was though.
